The daily gashman has many duties to attend to such as assisting the cook. Ultimate brownie points with the other base members are obtained by baking a cake, sticky buns, cookies or other such tea-time treats to be had with afternoon smoko.
Here is the proof of this tenet as evidenced by a group of Fids instantly taken out of their winter gloom by the judicious application of a nice sponge cake.

| This picture is one of a collection assembled in
2007 on the 60th anniversary of Signy Island Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W.
Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in
Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd and then
placed here on the web. The reunion weekend was
14-16 September 2007. |
